good she has done by means Of Lydia E. Pink

Pinkham Of recent interesting case. "a young
married lady came TO mo suffering with n severe
case of PrOiapsus and liberation. She COM
menced taking the Compound, and in two
months was Jfalg restored. In proof of this she
soon found herself in an interesting condition.
Influenced by foolish friends, she attempted to
evade the responsibilities Of maturity. After
ten or twelve days she came to me again. and
she was indeed in most alarming state and
suffered terribly. ] gave her tablespoonful of
the Compound every hour FOR eight hours until
she fell asleep. She awoks much relieved and
evidently better. She continued taking the
Compound, and in due season she became the
mother of fine, healthy boy. But for the

While chasing Hood, after the battle OF Nash

ammunition, but my comrade took no arms.
The first humble cabin we came 20 was
besieged by dozens OF "Yanks," inside, outside
and underneath. Those under the house were
trying 10 capture the last remaining goose
There being no show for US, we went on to the

no one had visited. So we renewed our tramp
TO reach il, through byways and thickets which
we knew TO be infested by bushwhackeTs.
We reached the hOuse in safety, but by this
time ii was late, and we were some seven miles
from camp; but we were happy in finding
plenty there to supply our wants. There was
a woman with two children in the house. She
said her husband was in the rebel army, and
that she had not anything for "you-uns

trees, and we would back him out and try

We finally came TO n we'll beaten path, which
we could hardly see for the darkness, and con-
cluded to follow il, thinking it would lead us
out somewhere; and sure enough it did. We
had followed it for a long way through dense
timber, when all at once, down IN n dark and
dismal gulley, we came 10 the end of it. a
band of gucrrillas had just left. There WAS
their abandoned camp, the fires still burning
and their shelters, made of bark, yet standing.
We did not stay there long. We thought it best
TO get out of that hole quickly as possible, or
we might lose our load of grub.
We struck out again through the dense forest
and soon landed in black berry patch. Neither

done some tall "cusSing." but we patiently

Schnaebeles, from somswhere along
the French and German frontier, is
evidently one of the men born to
have greatness thrust upon them.
He is commissarv and not remark
ably brilliant one, but his name is
now more familiar in Germany than
that Of Bismarck and more renowned
in France than that of Boularger.
Schnaebeles may we'll and truth
fully say that these honors are unex-
pected and unsolicited. He has be-
come great by being collared and
dragged across the line, and it may
be that the circumstance will give
him place in history as the moving
cause OF a great war which will again
change the map of Europe and bring
down the price of cotton. It would
have been better ali around if Schnae.
beles had never been born or had
never been made commissary or had
remained at safe distance from the
German line.
Our own Blackwood is very much
in the same condition as the iilustrl-
Gus Schnaebeles.. He was an humble
forger, doing business in small and
peaceful manner, seeking no notoriety
or attention and asking only to be
allowed to follow his ayocation
peacefully and without unnecessary
intrusion. Yet his name has been in
every newspaper in two States be-
cause two Augusta police officers fol-
lowed him to his home in Aiken, i'm
provised a writ Of habeas corpus with
a couple of reyolvers and a rope and
with those simple but effective means
carried him, against his will, to a
Georgia Jail. Governor Richardson
has formally demanded his surrender.
Governor Gordon has formally re-
fused it, and now Governor Richard
srn has, with equal formality, de-
manded the surrender Of his captors.
That demand will doubtless be de-
clined also and the Savannah may
soon divide two States not on speak
ing terms with each other.
As the Schnaebeles and Black
wood cases are so much alike. we
offer plan for settlement-Let Ger.
many and France do the fighting and
diplomatic work for US. We might
take France and her Schnaebeles as
representing South Carolina, and her
Blackwood and Germany as repre-
senting Georgia. However they SET
tie let US settle. If they fight let US
consider ourselves as fighting. Let
whichever State is whipped by proxy
abide the result, or whichever backs
down by proxy back down in fact.
The idea is submitted for the con.
eiderstion Of the two governors.

The library of Leopold Won Ranke,
great German historian, has been
secured for Syracuse University.
Prof. C. W. Bennett, of Evanston
Institute, an old pupil Of Ranke,
went to Europe last summer with an
offer for the library. Upon the re-
fusal by the Prussian Government to
take the library at the terms made
by the family, Prof. Bennett purchas-
ed the library. 1t contains $4,000
volumes, and its missing and imper'
feet volumes will be added, Some
wealthy man, who does not wish his
name to be made public, furnishes
the purchase money.
Mark Twain's successful reading
tour two years ago, in company with
Mr.. George ". Cable, was his own
business venture, and by it he netted,
clear of all expenses, $4,000, from
the first week of November to the
FIRST week of March following. He
paid Mr.. Cable $500 week and his
expenses. It was he who first intro.
duced Mr.. Cable to the business of
public reading, having started him
in Hartford the year before the joint
tour. His idea was that two authors
on a platform, reading from their
own works, would be less monoton-
Gus, and therefore more attractive,
than one.
